We can make jokes out of him and his WWF days or something, but last night in that I Quit match vs. Angle he showed why he's a good, intense, old-school wrestler, with tremendous pacing of moves and nice selling (he sold everything Angle did like a boss).

I'm not saying I'd like to see D'LO go out there in ring each week, but after seeing him last night, I wouldn't mind seeing him get in that ring a couple of more times, plus the story around him and An8s seems to be unfolding nicely, and might just get kicked out, showing that nobody in the group is safe, not even the VP. You don't get the job done, you're out.

With a roster like TNA has he shouldn't be wrestling, that isn't even a shot on D'Lo but he brings so little other than being a decent ring hand.

He still knows how to tell a story in the ring. A rarity these days. I'm down with the Brown!

I like D Lo, I just can't take him seriously as a heel. He's too much of a teddy bear.

Yeah, he was pretty good indeed. Don't think they particularly need to keep putting him in the ring but it wouldn't hurt.

I feel this way about so many people who get airtime on Impact. Rob Terry squashing 3 guys, 2 of whom are dope, I'm looking at your juiced up ass.

Well, that sounded gayer than I meant for it to.

Seriously though I don't really mind D'Lo getting matches as a part of the Aces & Eights angle (who else you wanna see wrestle from that group instead?) and I'm interested as to where the story goes from here and if he gets kicked out/becomes a babyface on TNA's side.

If you didn't enjoy that match with Angle you have no soul.

Who would've thought that in 2013, Kurt Angle and D'Lo will have a match on a TNA show, in an "I Quit" match and have a match of the night?:awyeah:

It was interesting. I think it was a good call to make it a I-Quit match though, added more character to the match since Aces & 8's saw their VP actually say the words "I quit" as oppose to just losing normally. And D-Lo was decent, Kurt obviously carrying him to a good match, but D-Lo's character added that extra feeling to the match to where it had a meaning to it as well.

I don't mind it I'm just generally annoyed that the story is built around Sting wanting revenge because he told Hogan to trust Bubbah Ray who now leads the group involving D/Lo Brown as one of their key players who just lost a match to Kurt Angle. These old guys have a role but it shouldn't have been this much overkill, seriously there are countless guys who they have under contract who would have worked better.

D/Lo is probably one of the better workers in A&8S although I do enjoy DOC's powerhouse style but he shouldn't have been involved in the story but I'll concede since he is he's the best option to work a few matches.

I don't think anyone enjoys seeing Hogan & Sting being the feature of every show + the strongest booked characters.

I've said before I don't mind Chavo/Hernandez as the face team to feud with the two badass heel teams. Who else would be doing it realistically of the current roster?
